I used to read about 1-2 hours a day, but now I read for about 30 min. each day.. during breakfast or lunch usually, maybe with a cup of coffee...

hi joe, i have spent the whole day from morning to night reading books but only if i don't have to go to work or have anything to do that day. it is a great escape from everyday life. sometimes i have finished a book in one day.

It depends on the day. But I do try to read as much as I can in a day, depending on the day, on the amount of free time that I have and such. Reading a book is a habit that I've had for a long time, even though it has been difficult to keep since I've entered university.

It depends on what I'm reading, how much I like it, and how much spare time I have. I've been known to read all day before. I would say on a typical day I read 1-3 hours. Not all squished together but dispersed throughout the day. I read on the train, before class, during the breaks, and before I go to sleep.

Only 30 minutes of continues reading is enough to strain my eyes. I usually take some rest, and after some time, will continue again reading. I read all day. I read good books about business and investing. The are like guide and manuals to me.

It depends. If I have a lot of other things to do, then I won't read on a particular day. On average, I'd say I read maybe an hour or two a day. If I am currently reading a really good book, then I have been known to read like ten hours out of a day because I am so engrossed in the book.

I love reading books but in leisure time. When I am free I can read it 3-4 hours as a part time leisure but when I am not free, I cannot read it because reading books is not my job, I love reading books only when I am free and there is nothing to do. It's not my compulsory work. Romantic novelists have been able to capture the essence of romance and translate it into beautiful words. When we read these very famous romantic novels we enter an imaginary world of passion, hope, love, lust, and desire. Generally, I read books at night..at that time I have lots of time.

It depends on what my schedule during the day is like, for the most part. It also depends on whether or not I have a good book in my hands. If I'm reading something really good, sometimes I'll read for hours. Other days, I'll not read at all.

If it was casual reading, 1 to 3 hours would generally be enough for me but once I get intrigued by an interesting book, I could read it the whole day. Finishing a novel within a few days is one of my greatest joys in life, reading and diving into a world that could only be read from pages of a book

Me only takes one hour reading a book, since it makes me boring when too long reading a book.

it depends on how my day goes really. but i make sure that i read at least couple of pages a day. it has always been my habit to be stuck to the book once i start to read one. at times books are great companions when you are on the road or on travel. so for me it does not matter how long or how fast as long as i read in a reagular, daily basis.
